Jackson Northwest girls tennis team runs away as MLive Team of the Week winner

The Citizen Patriot will be hitting the court next week. The tennis court, that is.

The Jackson Northwest girls tennis team drilled the competition over the last five days, running away with the MLive Jackson Team of the Week poll.

The Mounty tennis team accumulated 1,126 votes, more than 61 percent of all votes cast.

Northwest’s closest competitor was the Napoleon baseball team which netted a respectable 598 votes, 32 percent, a good amount most weeks but not enough to stay close to the Mounties.

The other five teams in the poll totaled barley over 100 votes combined.

As the Jackson Team of the Week, the Northwest girls tennis team will be featured by Citizen Patriot reporters next week in the form of several features, stories and photo galleries, spotlighting the Mounties.
